This is story of Anthony – Calisthenics Academy

Anthony is a construction worker and dad to two adorable little girls.

“It wasn’t until I got into Dragon Ball Z that I started becoming passionate about getting stronger with body weight exercises. Just seeing Goku and Vegeta training to face any challenge drove me to want to be strong.”

Anthony has been doing calisthenics for years, but more as a supplement to his workout routine rather than as the main focus. As he got older, his attention shifted, mainly thanks to Japanese anime series Dragon Ball Z. “I started becoming passionate about getting stronger with body weight exercises. Just seeing Goku and Vegeta training to face any challenge drove me to want to be strong.”

Additionally, Anthony used many different online free video tutorials to supplement his training.

“I researched for about a year and experimented with tutorial videos and workouts for building strength in advanced bodyweight movement, but it never seemed to work because they were either too hard or didn’t have any workouts with progression for beginners, which they have with the Calisthenics Academy program. That’s one of the reasons I like using it.”

The two main benefits Anthony has gained since starting calisthenics

He’s training like Goku and Vegeta

As the Real Anime Training puts it, the Dragon Ball Z masters put their sweat and their blood into their routines to achieve mastery. Anthony is following their example, although hopefully with no blood. (Train safely, please. Be inspired by the crazy anime, don’t be them!)

“I’ve noticed my wrists and knees don’t hurt after workouts and I have better control of my body during isometric holds.”

He can do his training routine in much less than 2 hours

Until joining the Calisthenics Academy community, Anthony was struggling to find a training program that wouldn’t take two hours to complete. None of his programs offered him that, nor did they help him find the right amount of effort for his body.

“I struggled finding something that worked for me that didn’t take to hours to finish and didn’t make me feel I was over or under working a muscle group, or leaving me feeling destroyed.”

Since he’s started Calisthenics Academy, he’s successfully learned to listen to his body’s needs and understand how to work with it rather than force it to train in a way that wasn’t natural.

“Just being consistent and listening to my body has helped me push through any issue.”

Finding Calisthenics Academy

Anthony worked through many video tutorials before choosing to train with Calisthenics Academy. Until he found Calisthenics Academy, no other online programs seemed to work well for him.

“I researched for about a year and experimented with tutorial videos and workouts for building strength in advanced bodyweight movement, but it never seemed to work because they were either too hard or didn’t have any workouts with progression for beginners, which they have with the Calisthenics Academy program.”

“Calisthenics is for everybody, and this program has a lot of options for beginners.”

“I’ve learned to be resourceful and find ways to do the exercises without needing to buy a bunch of equipment or getting a gym membership.”

Anthony’s advice to anyone curious about calisthenics

“Set your goals and be consistent, because it will help you get where you want to be.”
